Aflockalypse Now? Not Really, Experts Say

Mass animal deaths reported around the world in the last week have been causing world-wide alarm and speculation.

In the United States, the animal deaths gained media attention when up to 5,000 blackbirds in Arkansas mysteriously fell out of the sky, 360 miles south of Beebe, Ark.

A few days later an estimated 500 red-winged blackbirds and starlings were found dead in Louisiana- a short distance away from where the other 5,000 plummeted to their deaths. More animal deaths were reported in Tennessee.

Signs of the “Aflockalypse,” as some are calling it, are popping up all over the globe.
